Heartland Humane Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit group of dedicated foster homes that gives abandoned, abused, and unwanted animals another chance for loving, permanent homes through our adoption program.

OUR OPERATING COSTS ARE $260k annually, not including what our amazing fosters pay for out of their own pockets for supplies and other expenses.

WHERE DOES $260k GO?

We are 100% volunteer-based so the majority of funds received go towards veterinary fees, which comprises about 75% of our overall budget. This includes spays/neuters, vaccines, surgeries, dental procedures, emergency hospital visits and other necessary medical treatments. The remaining funds are used for medical supplies and food.

WHERE DOES $260k COME FROM?

Only 20% comes from adoption fees. The remaining 80% is derived from donations, fundraisers and grants.

Heartland was founded in 1998 and has been saving animals for over 25 years! We currently rescue and find homes for about 400 pets each year through adoptions at the O’Fallon and Wentzville PetSmart stores and the Whisker Station Cat Café in Kirkwood.

We can only help as many animals as we have funds to support. Donations from people like you, our supporters, allow us to do what we love every day - SAVING ANIMALS and finding them the loving homes they deserve!
